[LPF] A visit with Father Kedric

[perrinmiller]

The winged woman holds the dead priest's head aloft by his hair, the blood dripping down from the severed neck like rain. She declares, "My master will appreciate my trophy." She says a phrase in the Infernal tongue and winks out of existence.

The bearded devils do not care that they have been abandoned by their summoner and fly into battle rages to attack savagely. One claws Yoshiki, reopening the wound on his arm. The other slashes a cut in to a gap in Larissa's armor and draws blood.

GM: Sorry, Larissa did not critical. With PA, her Attack Bonus is only +7 before Bless and Flank. As for the silver hilt, I think it would be 1d4-1(the -1 for Silver) and no attack penalty, myself. Treat it like a light hammer. But, I would rather you didn't so we don't have anyone accusing us of making crap up. You guys are up for Round 5.

 

[HolyMan]

"Damn that demon witch!" Markas cries out as she disappears leaving the headless body of good Father Kedric on the floor.

Then noticing the other demons haven't left, he quickly regains his composure and jumps to the attack once more.

Coming up behind the monster his blade finds it's mark. "Back to the Abyss with you!"

Geez, finally get good attack rolls, but lousy damage.

Larissa swings again, determined to put down these abominations.

[sblock=PM]PM, did you take into account the Bull's Strength on Larissa's last attack? Her unmodified PA with the Greatsword is +7, but add +2 for the strength enhancement, +2 for the flank and +1 for the Bless and it brings the total to +12. Have I missed something?

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric (NPC)

Seeing Larissa finish off the other wounded devil, Ariel tries to put an end to the one between her and Markas. But, the devil manages to spoil her aim with a slashing claw that turns aside the shaft to leave the spiked head missing completely.

"These creatures are persistent!"

Ariel Esimae

 

[perrinmiller]

With Larissa's mighty sword strike, after Yoshiki's kicks failed to finish the badly wounded devil, only one foe remains. Markas manages to wound it, but Ariel cannot finish it off.

Jael' office is becoming a mess with blackish blood splatter from the devils and red blood from you. There is a growing crimson puddle becoming visible, seeping out from beneath the dead priest's desk.

The last bearded devil snarls and steps to put his back to a wall and slashes across the petite warmaiden's torso with its raking claws. One manages to get past her shield and cut her deeply in a gap in her armor.

GM: Yep, forgot the Bull's Strength. But, outcome is still the same, Larissa's blow this round finishes it off either way. You guys are up for Round 6.

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Assuming Yoshiki doesn't move to R5 first.

"Great work! And now for the last of these things!" Markas says with a nod to Larissa. "Time to die beast!"

Keeping his shield up Markas tries to run the thing through with a sharp stabbing thrust as he lunges forward. The unarmed creature is far from defenseless as it tries to rake at the warriors exposed face. Markas pulls away to save an eye and misses the creature's shoulder by inches. (Or in this case misses by one - AGAIN!)

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 5)

With barely a sound, Yoshiki leaps into action, flying towards the wall just to the left of the door. With a move of amazing agility, he leaps off the wall bringing an outstretched foot directly towards the remaining hairy beast.

OOC: Holyman: My movement gives you flanking. Therefore, add two to your attack!

 

[perrinmiller]

The combination of the monk's kick that barely has noticeable effect, and the opening it provides to Markas, ends the fight. The fighter's sword is able to slash open the devil's back, despite its resistance to weapons.

Jael's office is a mess from the brief, yet bloody battle.

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 5)

With the beast down, Yoshiki moves over to Ariel's side while examining his own claw wounds. Glancing down at the beheaded priest, he solemnly says to her, "I'm sorry for your loss, I tried to do what I could."

As the events that took place here are played over in his mind, I grave concern comes over him. "Do you know where he'd keep this devil? If its not already too late, we should kill this thing and send it back from where it came."
